MUST READ: Metatstatic Breast Cancer - A Patient is doing the research?!

A researcher is willing to mention patients! And (gasp) insist that patients must be involved in research. Okay, there is some small print here - Harvard may not be calling you and other patients you know just yet. But her story is amazing.

"My personal experiences with an exceedingly rare breast malignancy called angiosarcoma allowed me to peer through a window that included a lumpectomy, a mastectomy and chemotherapy, with none of the research or support that is poured into breast cancer awareness. "What blew me away is that Broad advertised for a "professional patient." Please follow the link and read this for maybe a little hope. Or Google BCSM - the article is in their headline today. And if you like, check out her "boss" research head Nikhil Wagle, MD, on Twitter.I wish you health.
